His robot mode is adorned by a couple of stickers. Blaster has a fairly simple transformation and blocky robot mode, both necessitated by the original design needing room for the electronic equipment. The play button simply locks in the down position until the stop or eject buttons are pushed, releasing it. He features a working eject button, as well as a play and stop button. Blaster’s former headphone jack, power switch, and volume knob all became molded details. The cassette door could now hold a Mini-Cassette Transformer, although no Autobot cassettes would be released until the following year. His red and silver body was highlighted with a bright yellow tape door, as opposed to the stickered blue door of the original. The entire electronic portion of the toy was removed, with switches, hatches, and ports sealed up and molded over. >Blaster was heavily retooled and somewhat redecorated for his Transformers debut. The US Patent, titled Reconfigurable radio cassette recorder toy (aka Transformers G1 Blaster) was filed on (U.S. The headphone could be stored in robot mode by plugging it through the gun’s large aperture, winding the cord around the narrow stock, and pegging the male jack through the hole in the upper part of the shoulder stock.īlaster was designed by Hiroyuki Obara. An on/off switch and volume knob also adorned the Radio-Cassette Robo. The front cassette door featured a male jack for the included AM radio unit, itself disguised as a Microcassette, that had to be inserted in order to receive radio signals. The center of the back featured compartment to store a single Microcassette Robo. The right robot leg had a battery door for two AA batteries at its rear, and the left leg featured a jack for the included monophone earbud. This version of the toy was considerably different than the Transformers release, in that it featured a working AM radio. He was released in this capacity in 1984 as MC-21 Radio-Cassette Robo, in two colors schemes: dark blue and light blue, or red and dark blue.

Movie - Revenge of the Fallen (ROTF) (84)īlaster was originally designed for Takara’s Microman: Microchange line.Fans can show support or disapproval, and that has an effect, but the effect is limited by economic realities. There's a huge amount of variation in between "fire the guy responsible for this horrible, lazy crap" and "I am a mindless sheep and I blindly love everything.", so let's not make those arguments either.
You guys over here need to ridicule your newbies more often, or they get away with thinking this type of attitude is acceptable. On the cockpit, more red could be done while still following that priority.Īnd yeah, the chest done like the box art would have been a nice touch.Įveryone complaining about laziness must be new to Transformers. (notably, the gun) I think the red and blue should be separated by black. The original version actually kind of had the red clashing with the blue, but it does that in parts of the robot mode still anyways. His vehicle mode LOOKS good regardless, but just isn't Blaster-y enough. Personally, I just wish his cockpit/shield had more red on it, if not like the original version shown earlier, then at least halfway.
